In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, cornstarch, sesame oil, sriracha, and peanut butter until smooth. Set aside.

For maximum flavor control, opt for low-sodium soy sauce and broth. This filling is highly versatile and can be served over rice, noodles, or salads. To make ahead, prepare the filling and store refrigerated for up to four days or freeze for up to three months.
02 -
Customize wraps by adding diced water chestnuts, mushrooms, celery, cabbage, or zucchini for extra texture.
